Honestly of all the villain deaths Disney’s poured out throughout the years i think Facilier Definitely got the worst one, man got literally dragged to hell kicking and screaming
He’s one of the most interesting villains to me because he’s pretty much a little man who can wield a lot of power; more than even he can really handle. While he’s trying to puppeteer others, he’s desperately trying to free himself from the debts that control him. That dynamic is one you don’t see explored often, and definitely not in Disney films, and Kieth David’s performance SERIOUSLY sells everything this character is supposed to represent.
@@arandomguywithagreenprofil5075 but one difference. One finally obtained freedom (if you go out of your way to do the spamton fight) While the other failed to settle his debt and is trapped forever.
@@zcgamerandreacts2762 spamton is never free bc he cant live without the strings and at his happy ending he helps kris kinda not giving the will of choosing his own deals
3:57 The thing that gets me here is that the demons show up the literal second the pendant is broken. It’s like they were always with him, watching him, waiting to pounce on him the second he screws up. Shivers dude…
They were absolutely like that. If you make a deal with dark forces you batter be prepared to pay the price because that’s a dark road to even start going down.
@@mekiherring2088Those first two he can’t really get much out of, and with that last one he had to go out of his way to ask the Voodoo spirits for help, with the chance they would deny him.
I love how Facilier didn't get some watered down kids ending "Oh no he was arrested and punished". No, Facilier was dragged screaming and begging into the depths of Hell or worse by VooDoo monsters and that's the end of it. Obviously being grown up I'm not as invested in Disney movies as I once was but man, this is one of the few I'll come back too and watch.
Honestly watching this movie when I was younger, I liked that they didn't try to hide the death off screen or tone it down in any form. I still do to this day as well
Old Disney movies did not hold back. Maleficent is a walking demonic symbol, and well…The Hunchback of Notre Dame exists. Hellfire is still one of the most unsettling villain songs in the entire Disney franchise
Old Disney was something else, Gaston actually dying, the entirety of Pirates of the Caribbean, the other old Disney movies where swords were used and blood was drawn a few times. They knew what they were doing New Disney would flip seeing blood
For some reason, Facilie's end is the most terrifying death imo in Disney movies. And the helpless desperation as he says he "just needs a little more time" to an uncaring, otherworldly force still haunts me to this day
Dude, are you kidding me? "For some reason"? He is literaly dragged to hell by gods of voodoo and their demons, of course he is desperate, after all, he himself know better than mostly men what awaits him. And his death is without doubt most terrifiyng in Disney movies. Hopper was maybe eaten alive, but Facilier was literaly taken to hell. Hell! Place, where he will suffer for eternity. And you really saying "for some reason"?
His death still terrifies me. Looking at a mostly mischievous man who shows no remorse for tricking people look and show terrified and in fear, gives me the chills.
Let's be fair though, if anyone deserves such an end, it's him. He was willing to give the souls of the whole city to his Friends, and in my book, you probably deserve to have it happen to you if you're willing to do it to others.
The thing about mischievous people or tricky folk, they know exactly what’s coming before it happens. They know the joke before the punchline. In this case, Facilier knew exactly what was coming and that there was no way out of it, no option but to beg and plea for his life
@@chidubememma-ugwuoke9660 He's probably one of the best Disney villains ever, I wish Disney went back into making these kinds of villains instead of making the ones who are misunderstood.

@@hakageryu307 Sir I kindly disagree… though they are both powerhouse actors and masters of their craft you know Tony would be better and more importantly scarier towards a family targeted audience. The voice is much deeper and more menacing for Todd. Kids would piss themselves seeing Tony acting unsettling and sneaky vs Keith as Facilier plus Tony is 6’ 5” vs Keith’s 6’ 2” and I feel like that goes a long way when your playing a voodoo doctor with friends on the other side ;)
@@FutureZamasu fair but in the era of Hollywood reboots they tend to go with different actors/actresses from the original voice actors. Tony Todd is creepy and unpredictable where as Keith David gives off that military dad vibe it’s not nearly a competition. In addition they sound fairly similar so…
What makes this Disney villain’s death even more brutal was the fact that it literally takes place in a cemetery. Since Faciler’s demise can only be seen as all his voodoo spirits popping out of gravestones and then dragging Faciler into a grave. And that horrified look on his face carved into his gravestone pretty much says it all.
He didnt even really die. He doesnt get to rest in peace. He was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the depths of hell to presumably suffer for eternity.
Something I just realized. Facilier’s friends kinda got screwed. They were promised a whole city of wayward souls for all their trouble, and instead they only got one. I’m guessing they took out their frustrations on Facilier once they got to the other side. And how he probably knew what they had in store for him as they were dragging him down. Kinda adds a new layer of fear and dread to his death scene when you think about it.
well look at it from thier perspective....Facilier's fuck-up is but a mere setback to them....they likely knew he wasnt going to deliver...you can tell from thier expression when he was asking for more help that they had heard loose promises from him before... and given they have all the time in the world to ensnare new orleans.....as they could just get the help of some other dumbass willing to bargen with them...loosing him as an accomplice is of little consequence
if I had a nickel for every time keith david voiced a character who was evil and fought frogs I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
@@njmoonfrost6145 cultural timing, simply enough. Undertail at the time was an insane smash hit, the 'new thing' so to speak, while princess and the frog's cultural high has passed, and also wasn't nearly as substantial
3:54 In Facilier's defense,in this shot she's clearly pinned under the cane and then one shot later the cane is totally gone. If only it wasn't for that ONE inconsistency in the animation.
Yeah, she was pinned. That meant even after grabbing the pendant, she should have been incapable of moving, let alone breaking it. Edit: Unless he let go of the cane because he was surprised by the pendant being grabbed. In which case, the cane wouldn't be in the shot, it would have vanished since he needs the power of the loa- His "friends from the other side" to conjure up the cane in the first place. His death was a long time coming anyway. He threw his magic under the bus for money. The price to pay for arrogance is death. "Are you ready?!" and that song: "Get ready to Die!" Go well together.
His shadow is definitely supernatural. If you look closely at the wallpaper during the "are you ready" song, you'll see that any floral-pattern wallpaper the shadow covers turns to skull and crossbones. Besides that visual detail, his friends from the other side pull his shadow, not him, which pulls him along too into hell. His shadow also kicks Lawrence while Facilier himself is moving.
@@lukebell4738 It's like Peter Pan. Connected but separate. The shadow can be affected, and it affects the physical body ( no shadow means Peter can't fly, and Facilier's can be touched by other shadows) pretty cool Disney has 2 characters with a shadow connection
I only have a 101 knowledge about African mythologies but most "witches" (gender neutral term) become witches by tapping an inner spirit/soul/half within them. The Loa themselves are born the way they are and inhibit their own realms. The shadow was probably Faciliers spirit-half instead of a construct of the Loa realm
Also not so much of a fun fact, sometimes witches have to cannibalize other people so the inner-spirits and them dont mutually destroy eachother. Not sure if this is the case with Dahomeian Vodoun though
Facilier is hands down the best villains in Disney history and got the most scary death dude literally got dragged to hell and as a kid it scared me Edit: WOW when I wrote this comment it didn’t think 542 would like this comment Thanks y’all
yeah I thought he was the best villian of all its time. and as a child I thought he was pretty scary when I saw him. the best role of a movie. loving it.
For a Disney ending, this is pretty dark. The villain is well written too. He cornered someone while at the same time being cornered as well. Instead of the latter typically makes people to sympathize, the dark dealing that put him into his situation is out of free will. This is just my initial impression of this villain since this movie never got any popularity in my place for whatever reason. Dropping Disney subscription from satellite tv in favor of Animax almost 20 years ago also means I missed a bunch of Disney movies that they aired occasionally, particularly during holiday season
1:58 & 4:29 Here's what I think the big mask is thinking "You're already up to your hat in debt, and you're asking for *more* ?" (inhales) "Mmmmm, that sounds good" "Should we?" (looks at the others) "Fine. But this is your *last* chance!" "You're out of time! It's time to collect!"
At 2:35 that smirk and eyebrow look makes it look like the mask was being sarcastic and that they plan on getting rid of him later even if he messes up again or succeeds.
I came here because Husker.... Dr Facilier is like the perfect combination of Husk and Alastor and I love Keith's performance so much! Actually, this is kind of how I picture Husk as an overlord
@@a77ackeranimations20canonically Alastor Is from New Orleans, Louisiana Which Is the city in the movie, and Louisiana is where the Term "Loa" or evil voodoo spirit Is from in their folklore
@@a77ackeranimations20 Like Husk, Facilier is kind of a gambler. Those "faustian deals" are highly risky, we can say he gambled his life and soul and he lost. Kind of what Husk did according with what we know about his story.
@@ark1567Yeah Facilier isn't a manupolative and cunning business man like Alastor he's more like an Andrew Tate that hopes to hook you to buy his course and the Red Pill theory
@@marioblaze2723 Alastor is probably more cautious, but his business is veeeeery! Shady. I mean: overlords are the businessmen of Hell. What he deals exactly?
Out of all the Disney villains I could think of. I think He should return for a sequel he’s my favorite Disney villain since my teenage years were becoming an adult 👩
And tbh, if they’ll make a sequel I won’t have the same impact for some since a lot of Disney movies nowadays are 3D animated than the usual 2D that this movie came out. It won’t have the same feel anymore
@@ar-1571 Actually Many characters in Fiction have escaped hell through some way, but many needed outside help (Slade from Teen Titans is an example, he escaped hell thanks to the power of Trigon making a deal with him, then getting his body back and coming back to life, But i don't think there is anyone that Faciler knows that can help him out of hell)
Dr. Facilier is now my favorite Disney villain, i always liked the ambience from the movie based in Louisiana and i always thought Bayous (althought infested with gators) where really beautiful places. also his friends from the other side song was straight up awesome
I love the way he _immediately_ loses his cool when the fat dude throws the amulet at the start. Man is fucking _terrified_ of whatever's on the other side.
@@dayvonlouis5187Especially the darker sort of friends. Fun fact: Dr Facilier is based on Baron Samedi, the Loa of the Dead (and a fun party guy to be around with).
this movie felt like watching the classics again in modern times (for 2008) a movie that had no problem being cheerful as any Disney movie, but wasn't afraid of being also dark or even slightly gruesome, and Facilier, as always, the villain being the best part of the movie (well except Bellweather froom Zootopia, she was a little "meh" of a villain at least to me) had definitely the classic Disney villain treatment, and even some Scar from The Lion King vibes, someone manipulative, calm and charismathic, who at the end actually had a similar destiny, being taken down by his so-called "friends"
Something I realized: when "Friends on the other side" is playing for the first time with Dr. Facilier turning Naveen into a frog, the background chant is barely noticeable with a smooth jazz overshadowing it, kinda like the chant is behind the song. It represents Facilier's charismatic and off putting personaility but in reality is running from death every day When Facilier is about to "die", the chant is the loudest part and the instruments for the jazz tune are incredibly loud, like his "friends" caught up in the chase and Facilier is panicking for survival
This is a really well done scene if this was made as a rated R or even PG-13 movie this could’ve been insane really well done animations, voice acting, and character writing for the movie itself.
"the other side" is one of my favorite songs from Disney. Not only does it remind me of Scar for some reason, but it's really unique compared to all the other songs that are devoted to the villains in these films. Not only that, but the melody is a banger.
I haven't even seen this movie and I love how he goes from looking spindly and weak to looking large and intimidating almost on a scene by scene basis.
Ehhhhhhhh, not really. Husk is a gambler, but he's not some voodoo deal maker. Faciller is a combination of Alastor's deal making and false charm, with Husk's knowledge and skill in making deals and bets.
They smiled because they knew he would fuck up😂,they was like ain't no damn way in hell you gone be able to get us all the souls in that little town,and the big one was like,Naah maybe we should give em a chance,and the little one was like watch how bad he about to fuck up,as soon as that necklace they came out there singing,his theme song😂💀😂
His demise is I swear the one of the most terrifying for a Disney villain. I mean this guy had it all for the perfect Disney villain: charisma, charm, an almost psychotic amount of ambition, a slightly relatable motive (him being jealous and resentful of the rich while being poor himself), with the added additions of an amazing villain song and powers. I mean his charisma and manipulative charm makes him come off as someone you could encounter in real life. His demise is so terrifying as he was literally dragged to hell kicking, screaming, and begging
I love Dr. Facilier's expressions and mannerisms, but those little voodoo dolls are so cute! 😭 I love the one with the button eyes and onion-shaped head!
Lesson learned. Like Charlie from Hazbin Hotel once said “Don’t worry I learned one thing from my dad. (aka Lucifer himself) “You don’t take shit from other demons.”” Update: On October 14, 2023 it's been announced that Keith David will be voicing Husk for Hazbin Hotel.
You got to give the doctor credit about one thing he was actually being generous splitting the fortune 60/40 with Lawrence most villains would try to take night at least 90 or 80%
Here are five reasons why Tiana is one of my favorite Disney princesses: 1. Positive attitude 2. Hardworking 3. Confident 4. Eager to please 5. Beautiful voice
I just noticed Facilier's shade grows more frightened throughout the entire movie of his failure, because if Facilier fails he does too. You can see him getting taken away as well at the end amazing touch.
Excellent villain Cool design , cool power set , very animated , great voice actor , great death . Only wish they actually took him down in a more clever way
I love Facilier's expression when he explained the charm's power being useless to him. The exasperated sigh, his barely contained disappointment, him punctuating how it's not working with a "see!" expression. This man was charisma in a bag.
I’d honestly love to see more of this guy, after watching the movie recently i honestly feel that while he has a great presence and personality, that the movie kinda severely underutilizes him until the scenes leading up to his death, i Think he shows up for about a tenth of the movie’s runtime. So, to me at least, he’s great while he’s there and is interesting… He just doesn’t really do that much for a lot of the movie besides instigating the main problem and causing a few minor setbacks until he dies. Which doesn’t seem all that impressive to have on your resume as the main antagonist of a movie
I really wish he would’ve had more screen time, he was such a cool villain, heck they could’ve gave him his own movie that gives him more of a backstory and I’d watch it.
Coincidence, Keith David voice both Disney villains, King Andrias and Dr. Facilier who have a thing for battling amphibians and bugs. Plus, they both take direct orders from Dark force, such as The Core (Andrias) and The Friends on the other side (Facilier)
Honestly of all the villain deaths Disney’s poured out throughout the years i think Facilier Definitely got the worst one, man got literally dragged to hell kicking and screaming
Idk one literally got stabbed through the chest and another fell out of a pretty tall tower
And one litterally got SKINNED ALIVE, AND DISSOLVED IN LAVA, LEAVING ONLY HIS BRAIN IN SHAPE, JUST FOR IT TO BE CRUSHED BY SANTA'S FOOT
@@veronicat4937 bro he got dragged by Demons to hell, that's terrifying

@@FutureZamasu fair but in the era of Hollywood reboots they tend to go with different actors/actresses from the original voice actors. Tony Todd is creepy and unpredictable where as Keith David gives off that military dad vibe it’s not nearly a competition. In addition they sound fairly similar so…
What makes this Disney villain’s death even more brutal was the fact that it literally takes place in a cemetery. Since Faciler’s demise can only be seen as all his voodoo spirits popping out of gravestones and then dragging Faciler into a grave. And that horrified look on his face carved into his gravestone pretty much says it all.
He didnt even really die. He doesnt get to rest in peace. He was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the depths of hell to presumably suffer for eternity.
@orange_turtle3412 He WASN'T dragged into the depths of hell like you and some people make it out to be. He was killed from petrification into stone.
@@SupremeEgyptianGodsMan-vd3sk We don't really know, it might just be his grave.
Something I just realized. Facilier’s friends kinda got screwed. They were promised a whole city of wayward souls for all their trouble, and instead they only got one. I’m guessing they took out their frustrations on Facilier once they got to the other side. And how he probably knew what they had in store for him as they were dragging him down. Kinda adds a new layer of fear and dread to his death scene when you think about it.
It pretty much didn’t matter to the Loa, all they wanted is just a soul, don’t care if it was him or someone else.
@@masterjustin2246 But it's like if you were promised a bufet all for yourself and all you got is one dish.
They knew he was full of 💩. So I mean lol…
well look at it from thier perspective....Facilier's fuck-up is but a mere setback to them....they likely knew he wasnt going to deliver...you can tell from thier expression when he was asking for more help that they had heard loose promises from him before...
and given they have all the time in the world to ensnare new orleans.....as they could just get the help of some other dumbass willing to bargen with them...loosing him as an accomplice is of little consequence
@saucygyal6480 yeah if he pulled it off. They be impressed but theu figure his soul was worth the effort

Idk wtf a “sexyman category” is on Timblr…
@@whyme3772 you don’t want to know
Reading this comment and the term "sexyman" makes me remember about that one mobage Disney release in Japan which have a facilier look alike in it lel
3:54 In Facilier's defense,in this shot she's clearly pinned under the cane and then one shot later the cane is totally gone.
If only it wasn't for that ONE inconsistency in the animation.
Yeah, she was pinned. That meant even after grabbing the pendant, she should have been incapable of moving, let alone breaking it.
Edit: Unless he let go of the cane because he was surprised by the pendant being grabbed. In which case, the cane wouldn't be in the shot, it would have vanished since he needs the power of the loa- His "friends from the other side" to conjure up the cane in the first place.
His death was a long time coming anyway. He threw his magic under the bus for money. The price to pay for arrogance is death.
"Are you ready?!"
and that song: "Get ready to Die!" Go well together.
I like the implementation that his shadow isn't really as much voodoo magic as it's just a trick he can do
His shadow is definitely supernatural. If you look closely at the wallpaper during the "are you ready" song, you'll see that any floral-pattern wallpaper the shadow covers turns to skull and crossbones. Besides that visual detail, his friends from the other side pull his shadow, not him, which pulls him along too into hell. His shadow also kicks Lawrence while Facilier himself is moving.
@@lukebell4738 It's like Peter Pan. Connected but separate. The shadow can be affected, and it affects the physical body ( no shadow means Peter can't fly, and Facilier's can be touched by other shadows) pretty cool Disney has 2 characters with a shadow connection
I only have a 101 knowledge about African mythologies but most "witches" (gender neutral term) become witches by tapping an inner spirit/soul/half within them. The Loa themselves are born the way they are and inhibit their own realms. The shadow was probably Faciliers spirit-half instead of a construct of the Loa realm
Also not so much of a fun fact, sometimes witches have to cannibalize other people so the inner-spirits and them dont mutually destroy eachother. Not sure if this is the case with Dahomeian Vodoun though
I like to think it's his soul

Keith David did an absolutely amazing job with this role. One of my favorites he's preformed 🌹
yeah I thought he was the best villian of all its time. and as a child I thought he was pretty scary when I saw him. the best role of a movie. loving it.
I didn't know Keith david did his role! that's good to know! he really did. for voice acting was the best role for as himself.
I love him as Tombstone from The Spectacular Spider-Man and Black Panther from the 1994 Fantastic Four Cartoon.
I agree. I hope he voices Valentino from Hazbin hotel.
He should have voiced Zurg in Lightyear instead of Jim Brolin. They should have not made Zurg as an old man.
For a Disney ending, this is pretty dark. The villain is well written too. He cornered someone while at the same time being cornered as well. Instead of the latter typically makes people to sympathize, the dark dealing that put him into his situation is out of free will.
This is just my initial impression of this villain since this movie never got any popularity in my place for whatever reason. Dropping Disney subscription from satellite tv in favor of Animax almost 20 years ago also means I missed a bunch of Disney movies that they aired occasionally, particularly during holiday season
He was inspired by Kingdom of the Sun’s Yzma, who is also a necromancer who transformed the hero into an animal.
A magic user that prefers money over the supernatural is both tragic and too realistic.
Makes sense when you can't really use that magic on yourself.
Makes sense when you have to ask for favours to your FOTOS (Friends On The Other Side).
Dr. Facilier is without a shadow of a doubt my favorite disney villain. He's so animated, I love him.
hehe saw what you did there
Something tells me this Disney film won’t be remade live for longer than ten years
Or they will make it trying to make money and it will suck but people will watch it anyway.
@@brennadewhirst4965
Maybe that’ll happen. Most of the live action remakes have been disappointing
I’m fine with that tbh. I don’t want Disney ruining this one too.
@@CJCroen1393
Probably agree on that
They're gonna make Tiana white
Facilier's death scene should get an oscar for the most dramatic scene ever
1:58 & 4:29 Here's what I think the big mask is thinking
"You're already up to your hat in debt, and you're asking for *more* ?"
(inhales) "Mmmmm, that sounds good"
"Should we?" (looks at the others) "Fine. But this is your *last* chance!"
"You're out of time! It's time to collect!"
At 2:35 that smirk and eyebrow look makes it look like the mask was being sarcastic and that they plan on getting rid of him later even if he messes up again or succeeds.
I came here because Husker.... Dr Facilier is like the perfect combination of Husk and Alastor and I love Keith's performance so much!
Actually, this is kind of how I picture Husk as an overlord
I don't really see Husk in him but alastor is deffinetly heavily inspired by him. Especially with the voodoo powers and the "deal" he made
@@a77ackeranimations20canonically Alastor Is from New Orleans, Louisiana
Which Is the city in the movie, and Louisiana is where the Term "Loa" or evil voodoo spirit Is from in their folklore
@@a77ackeranimations20 Like Husk, Facilier is kind of a gambler. Those "faustian deals" are highly risky, we can say he gambled his life and soul and he lost. Kind of what Husk did according with what we know about his story.
@@ark1567Yeah Facilier isn't a manupolative and cunning business man like Alastor he's more like an Andrew Tate that hopes to hook you to buy his course and the Red Pill theory
@@marioblaze2723 Alastor is probably more cautious, but his business is veeeeery! Shady. I mean: overlords are the businessmen of Hell. What he deals exactly?
Out of all the Disney villains I could think of. I think He should return for a sequel he’s my favorite Disney villain since my teenage years were becoming an adult 👩
I prefer a prequel, coming back from Hell is a bit difficult i presume
And tbh, if they’ll make a sequel I won’t have the same impact for some since a lot of Disney movies nowadays are 3D animated than the usual 2D that this movie came out. It won’t have the same feel anymore
I mean you literally watch the dude get dragged to hell I doubt he coming back
@@shadowfightarenaskuy5230 it’s not difficult it’s IMPOSSIBLE
@@ar-1571 Actually Many characters in Fiction have escaped hell through some way, but many needed outside help (Slade from Teen Titans is an example, he escaped hell thanks to the power of Trigon making a deal with him, then getting his body back and coming back to life, But i don't think there is anyone that Faciler knows that can help him out of hell)

They kind of made a sequel to this in book form it’s called Disney chills Friends on the other side
I love how the " Friends" first reaction is like
" What does he want NOW?!" 😂
Keith David is surely one of the greatest voices in dubbing of this generation.
Dr. Facilier is now my favorite Disney villain, i always liked the ambience from the movie based in Louisiana and i always thought Bayous (althought infested with gators) where really beautiful places. also his friends from the other side song was straight up awesome
As someone from Louisiana, I love the movie even more
I love the way he _immediately_ loses his cool when the fat dude throws the amulet at the start. Man is fucking _terrified_ of whatever's on the other side.
Well, who can blame him, judging how he went out in the end.
Don’t mess around with Voodoo
@@dayvonlouis5187Especially the darker sort of friends.
Fun fact: Dr Facilier is based on Baron Samedi, the Loa of the Dead (and a fun party guy to be around with).
@@fenorlex1126just realized facilier is basically a baron samedi cosplayer in-universe
I like to think that the amulet holds his soul, removed from his person to be used as a bargaining chip.
this movie felt like watching the classics again in modern times (for 2008) a movie that had no problem being cheerful as any Disney movie, but wasn't afraid of being also dark or even slightly gruesome, and Facilier, as always, the villain being the best part of the movie (well except Bellweather froom Zootopia, she was a little "meh" of a villain at least to me) had definitely the classic Disney villain treatment, and even some Scar from The Lion King vibes, someone manipulative, calm and charismathic, who at the end actually had a similar destiny, being taken down by his so-called "friends"
I mean Scar did end up desperately blaming the hyenas. . . Dr. Facilier ended up making a mistake and got sent to the shadow realm
Two villains killed by their own army.
Something I realized: when "Friends on the other side" is playing for the first time with Dr. Facilier turning Naveen into a frog, the background chant is barely noticeable with a smooth jazz overshadowing it, kinda like the chant is behind the song. It represents Facilier's charismatic and off putting personaility but in reality is running from death every day
When Facilier is about to "die", the chant is the loudest part and the instruments for the jazz tune are incredibly loud, like his "friends" caught up in the chase and Facilier is panicking for survival
This is a really well done scene if this was made as a rated R or even PG-13 movie this could’ve been insane really well done animations, voice acting, and character writing for the movie itself.
Extremely underrated villain. An extremely underrated film. With an extremely underrated voice actor.
And then you realize that this man is voice actor of Husk from Hazbin Hotel
And Admiral Anderson from Mass Effect
@@arianamauery9281And the Arbiter from Halo
And SGT. Foley from the original MW2
And spawn
And that his character works for a guy who was literally inspired by Facilier.
After Dr. Facilier was dragged to Hell, he took on a new identity as Husker. He know works as a bartender in the Hazbin Hotel.
You know your screwed when your own theme song is used against you
The fact that Alastor from Hazbin Hotel was inspired by him is funny

"the other side" is one of my favorite songs from Disney.
Not only does it remind me of Scar for some reason, but it's really unique compared to all the other songs that are devoted to the villains in these films. Not only that, but the melody is a banger.

Ehhhhhhhh, not really. Husk is a gambler, but he's not some voodoo deal maker. Faciller is a combination of Alastor's deal making and false charm, with Husk's knowledge and skill in making deals and bets.

His demise is I swear the one of the most terrifying for a Disney villain. I mean this guy had it all for the perfect Disney villain: charisma, charm, an almost psychotic amount of ambition, a slightly relatable motive (him being jealous and resentful of the rich while being poor himself), with the added additions of an amazing villain song and powers. I mean his charisma and manipulative charm makes him come off as someone you could encounter in real life.
His demise is so terrifying as he was literally dragged to hell kicking, screaming, and begging
3:58 The origin of Husk.
Keith David is one of the finest actors of his generation. And what a voice.

They couldn’t have picked a better actor to voice this character than Keith David. The man has such a chilling yet soothing voice.
I just noticed Facilier's shade grows more frightened throughout the entire movie of his failure, because if Facilier fails he does too. You can see him getting taken away as well at the end amazing touch.

The whole Origin Story of Husk in hazbin hotel
I’d honestly love to see more of this guy, after watching the movie recently i honestly feel that while he has a great presence and personality, that the movie kinda severely underutilizes him until the scenes leading up to his death, i Think he shows up for about a tenth of the movie’s runtime. So, to me at least, he’s great while he’s there and is interesting… He just doesn’t really do that much for a lot of the movie besides instigating the main problem and causing a few minor setbacks until he dies. Which doesn’t seem all that impressive to have on your resume as the main antagonist of a movie
I really wish he would’ve had more screen time, he was such a cool villain, heck they could’ve gave him his own movie that gives him more of a backstory and I’d watch it.
Coincidence, Keith David voice both Disney villains, King Andrias and Dr. Facilier who have a thing for battling amphibians and bugs. Plus, they both take direct orders from Dark force, such as The Core (Andrias) and The Friends on the other side (Facilier)
Another coincidence is that both Disney projects were about frogs.
